Claims: Incident-to Billing & Adding a Supervisor's Information to a Claim

When a supervisee bills using a supervisor's credential, it is called incident-to billing. You may submit electronic claims through Sessions Health using incident-to billing. You may change the rendering provider on a claim to be any supervisor on the Sessions Health account. Alternatively, the supervisor can be set as the referring provider using box 17 of the CMS 1500 claim form.

Changing the Rendering Provider to be the Supervisor

If the rendering provider will always be the supervisor for one or any of your payers, you can set up an insurance customization to have this information auto-populate onto claims. To do this, navigate to Billing Settings > Insurance > Settings and scroll to the bottom where it states +Add Customization. For the customization, select the insurance payer and the provider and then you can add in the supervisor's information for the rendering provider and save. Going forward, the supervisor will be inputted as the rendering provider on claim forms.

Using Box 17

If a supervisor is established, you may also leave the supervisee as the Rendering provider and use the supervisor's information in box 17 on the claim. You do this on the Provider tab by making certain the box is checked to Include supervisor in Box 17?
